Opinion: Seahawks have a winner’s heart

Some people might put stock in such things, but we’d attribute Seattle’s first Super Bowl victory to the positive, can-do attitude of this team, as represented in this post-game quote from Russell Wilson, only the second African-American quarterback to win the big game.

“It doesn’t matter what you look like. It doesn’t matter if you’re black, white, Latino, Asian. It doesn’t matter if you’re 5 feet 11. It doesn’t matter how many people tell you no. It’s the heart that you have. That’s (what) I try to prove every day.”
